I am unable to use recovery center within windows because I cannot see the buttons (next, back, cancel, etc). They are off in the corner of the window but can't scroll over to see them:

I have installed the update to v1.3.5, but it did not fix this problem. Does anyone have a screenshot of the buttons so I can get through it??? I have tried tabbing and pressing "N" for next, which works sometimes but not when I need it to work. It actually resulted in UNinstalling a program that I was trying to re-install.

This problem you have is probably because you have increased your DPI setting. To fix it, right-click on the desktop, choose personalize, and click on "adjust font size (DPI)" under Tasks on the top left. Set the DPI back to the default 96, reboot, and then you'll be able to navigate through your Recovery Center. And then you can change your DPI after you finish with the Recovery Center.
